The Penalty of Riches,

A man with the reputation Of riches is
besciged with applications for support Gf
such a kin that he viii soon understand
why the poor think better Of mankind than
the rich. Circular follows circular, point
i!g cut in tho most attractive manner how
h, may become richer, by investing his
money in plans and shAms of all kinds A
rich person, however worthy, can never
feel sure that he is respected or loved for
himself. In DR.. Guthrie's "Autobiogra-
phy'' there is a good illustration Of the I'm.
happy state of cynicism into which the rich
are prone to fall. There he relates how, in
a winter of extraordinary severity, he
made an appeal to a lady who had succeed
ed to prodigious fortune, on behalf of the
starving poor of his parish. On being
ushered into her room, she turned round,
and showing her thin, spare figure, and
face that looked as if it had been cut out OF
mahogany, grinned and said: ~ am sorry
to see ye. What do you wanta suppose
you are here seeking siller?"-"The very
thing have come for,' was the doctors
frank reply. Her next remark demonstra-
ted how little power her riches had of con-
fcrring happiness, and with all her wealth
of batteries, what poor, lonely, desolate,
miserable creature this possessor of more
than million sterling was. "Ah!' she
said, there is nobody comes to see me or
seek me but it's money, the money they
are after"
When Whitefeld was preaching on one
occasion, and just as he stood up TO pray,
the clerk at the desk below read out the
intimation: ''The prayers OF this congre-
cation are earnestly requested in behalf OF
young man who has just fallen heir to
large fortune. "-QiiUer

Humility and Love.

"Love is lowliness." Is not this one OF
the most beautiful sentencesl Perhaps
Richter never wrote three words that
meant more All! it is human pride that
breeds envyings and strifes, disturbs the
harmony Of congenial souls and the peace
of the individual. What lowllness unites
it is hard to break asunder, for each es-
teens the other better than himself. Love
without lowliness is all smiles during
prosperity; but when the hard things Of
life arc to be battled against or to be simply
borne patiently, then 1t is the smile Of low.
tfaess that is valued. But we forget, "Lova
e lowliness." Without lowliness, lave is
not love, however otherwise it may seem
for tse time being ~. j

LATENT FORCE.
The storms of Life Bring Out Strength
OF Character Often Unexpected in
Peace fulness.


OF Character Often Unsupported in
cCfuness.
Some events seem purposely sent for the
d we arlneut OF character. The little
rcam mUrmuring along its way, drcamily
aad happily, through green meadows and
sunny slopes, makes no change IN its course
until it meets some impeachment. Then II
rouses and wakes to action, roaring aud
gathering itself into white foam, wholly
changing Its current and character. 80
with ourselves, lives move on calmly and
evenly, with scarcely more than ripple to
show that latent force Is there.
Some business misfcrtui!e comes with
crash almost without warning J he first
sensation is paralysis OF all the energies,
then the reaction, and we find ourselves
strong to do and dare. The death-angel
enters the home circle, the one place we
had considered too sacred for its intrusion
Both brain and body seen about to sink be
meath the terrible crushing weight; sud
denly the dormant faculties awake. We
must do or die.
" The gods in bounty work up storms about us,
That give mankind occasion TO exert
Their hidden strength, and throw oUt into
practice
Virtues that 81 un the day, and lie concealed
In the smooth seasons and the Gains Of life.
The easiest places in life fail to draw out
tn, richest part of our nature, We are even
capable of better things. The most
precious metals are found deeply imbed-
ded in the dark, cold earth and much toll
some action is required to force her to
yield up her treasure. Yet each stroke,
though laborous, causing great drops to
start, brings us nearer the coveted prize.
The experience of others may be brought
to bear upon our lives, but only as sign
posts indicating the right road. No great
achievement can be accomplished by fol-
lowing aimIessly beaten ra,h. We are
towards doubling our ability outside OF
! our daily routine We are fearful of the
world, its smile or frown means 50 much,
almost more COurag than we possess is
